Miami (Score 1)

All things being relative, the South Florida region has seen a lot of activity, while we are not in the same league as the Valley, Austin or New York there is a lot of work being done here with startups. Co-working and knowledge sharing spaces are active (The Lab Miami, Project Lift, MEC, Pipeline, RightSpace all come to mind). Organizations like SFTA, Refresh Miami, and the Ruby group are rife with attendees. Ignite Miami, and Social Media Miami have held community focused events. This year Ray Kurzweil, and Dawkins both spoke in Miami, a few weeks ago, Isaacson held court talking about his Einstein bio. Apple just bought a biometric (last six months) company, and I know of two companies that Microsoft acquired. Granted we just lost Ed Iacobucci, but every once in a while, you can have a chat with John Sculley. One of the local universities has Donald Knuths successor on its staff, and their CS department is world class. I'd say we are working on it, and while we have a lot of people who don't have all the skills, here, we are making steps in the right direction. Slowly we are building a world class community. Yes it would be nice to have an education system here that understands the importance of a forward thinking high school curriculum, and what I wouldn't give to hear someone say sustainable knowledge economy. It would be brilliant to have more humility and less hubris, more older folks to advise the younger entrepreneurs, and less egos overall, but this is Miami, we are making progress.
Just my two cents.
